Are you an entrepreneur with a scalable, world-changing idea and looking for co-founders or employees to join your team?

Are you an engineer, designer, or skilled businessperson ready to apply your talents to an exciting new startup? 

 Join us on February 2 for Founders Meetup for Good, an event that brings together Bay Area for-profit social entrepreneurs and other impact minded professionals to meet and greet.  We’ll be joined by serial entrepreneur Priya Haji, co-founder of World of Good and SaveUp, who will kick off the evening with an inspiring talk.  After that, we’ll have an open mic for anyone in the audience to give a 60 second pitch on your idea and what kind of co-founders or employees you’re looking for.  Then the rest of the evening is open for networking.

Food and beverages will be served.
